[Electrovaporization in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Our experience]. / Electrovaporización en el tratamiento de la HBP. Nuestra experiencia.

OBJECTIVE: To report our experience in the treatment of BPH with transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TUEVP) with the Roller device (Storz). METHODS: 105 patients with clinical BPH of 30 to 60 gm were treated by TUEVP. This technique allowed removal of the bladder catheter 14-16 hours after the procedure, with a mean length of hospital stay ranging from 19-36 hours. The postoperative clinical situation is similar to that of TUR, with a maximum flow of 17-41 ml/sec. CONCLUSION: In our experience, transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate is a simple, efficient, safe and economic technique with a very low morbidity.
